FOR MEN ONLY"
Hon. Harry M. Hills Stag Party and
Opossum Supper-An Event.

Hon. Harry M. Hills Stag Party and
Opossum Supper-An Event.
One of the most enjoyable entertainments
Of the season was the stag party and opossum
supper given by the Hon, Harry NJ. Hill, at
his elegant home, near Gill station, last
night. 1t was an occasion 'for men only"
and they enjoyed it to the fullest. The guests
went out on the dummy line, one train
starting at $3.50 o'clock and the other an
hour later. The feast was q sump-
tuous one, consisting Of twenty-five
opossums cooked in the old fashioned way
with sweet Eaters, " and il is safe to say were
carved in the most approved style. Be
sides, there was everything else that could
be thought Of on the table TO tempt
the appetite, and punch, eggnog and
Mumm's extra dry flowed in abundance.
Stories, rich and rare, interspersed
the other pleasures. The party
lasted until midnight, aud every one lett
feeling most joyous, 'and wouldn't have
missed II for $1,000" Anumberof speeches
were made by Judges Latham, Greer, Walker,
Gen. Tracy, and the distinguished host. As
an evidence OF what u representative and
jolly crowd 1t was, just cast your eye over
the list:

An old Scandal Revived.

CmcNGo, Ill, Dec. %g3.-Sarah g. Bond, a
young colorcd woman, attempted TO establish
a claim for 5000 TO-DAY before Judge Tuley,
by proving that Mrs. Elizabeth Bunch, a
light mulatto, who recently died here, aged
s~cyenty-six, was the issue OF a secret mar
riage long ago between a Miss Gusts, of
Parkcrsburg, W. Va, and Jas. Washington,
the negro coachman Of the Gusts family.
The Miss Gusts belonged to the same aris-
tocratic stock into which President George
Washington married. Miss Bond is the only
living descent Of the negro coachman. She
succeeded in showing that Mrs. Bunch was
really the daughter of Miss Custis, born
while the latter was II school girl,
and ut once placed in an orphan
age. Mrs. Bunch's career was Traced
10 her death in Chicago, where she left
5000 worth Of property 10 the Baptist
church, The claimant, however, failed TO
show That Miss Gusts aud the coachman
were ever married, and, therefore, was una
Bile TO prove relationship with Mrs. Bunch.
Judge Tulcy consequently disallowcd the
young cOlorcd woman claim for the 5000.

OF the big sleigh kind of turned clear out
